Description
Absolutely lovely copy of the very first ever album by the Andrews Sisters, their 1946 self-titled 5 78rpm album set on Decca A-458. Features their first big hit, Bei Mir Bist Dü Schoen from 1937, and newer songs like the rare Beat Me Daddy, a disc that is often missing from this set. All five discs are in excellent condition and play simply beautifully. There are some very light scuffs on a few of them, but barely at all. Purely superficial with no affect on the play. This is a beautiful sounding set. The cover also is in exceptional condition, with mostly only light shelfwear evident. There is a large scratch on the front from the "n" in "Andrews" down to Laverne's face (see photo) which is unfortunate but not terrible. Some edge and corner wear mainly on the right edge, and minor scuffing and such but the spine is perfectly intact and the binding strong. See photos. It is really a beautiful looking and sounding copy, and quite rare to find in this condition, complete with no issues. PLUS it comes with the very rare booklet! A little worn in places, and with a big line of tape from top to bottom (see photo) which is not a repair; it was at one time taped to the cover, but it has been removed. Anyhow you never ever see the booklet. A complete copy!
The discs include:
Bei Mir Bist Dü Schoen / Joseph! Joseph!
Hold Tight, Hold Tight / Well All Right!
Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar / Scrub Me Mama with a Boogie Beat (rare and wonderful)
In Apple Blossom Time / Rhumboogie
Beer Barrel Polka / Pennsylvania Polka
